Why do we pay taxes
by venkat v on Jul 27, 2008 03:27 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I paid 40 percent of what I earned last year as taxes..for what? the govt is unable to give me even basic requirements like protection. We should not pay taxes if the govt is not able to weed out terrorism.

The congress govt is an opportunitstic one which does not care about anything other than trying to be in power in the centre. And unfortunately the average indian is an idiot.
I repent being an indian and want to get out of this country as soon as possible.

Very true. Who want's to be a citizen of such a patheti country which can't provide security to the common man. However, the same governmant can act very efficiently while gobbling up land to SEZ contracts. Shame on India and Indians. That is to say shame on me and I think the recent incidents have forced me to consider taking up British citizenship. I beleive many more will think the same way. Why go back to a country which can't protect its citizens??

What makes a country dear? Who makes a system? Indians only talk about rights but not about their duty.

You missed the point thats what people are asking, what are the officials doing about all this nobody has ever been caught or held responsible and these people keep doing it again and nobody cares, we pay up taxes but get no security cover looks like no one is responsible and committed
